Dendrimers and combinatorial chemistry - Tools for fluorescent enhancement in protease assays
Ternon, Micha?l,José Díaz-Mochón, Juan,Belsom, Adam,Bradley, Mark
, p. 8721 - 8728 (2004)
FRET based systems are some of the best methods available to detect and monitor proteolytic activity. To enhance fluorescent signals and hence assay sensitivity, two different systems were developed using two different dendrimeric constructs. In the first

The present invention relates to methods of visualising cells especially although not exclusively in vivo using a dye, such as a dendrimer-dye molecule or polybranched-dye molecule which is internalised by the cells and thus permits subsequent visualisation by confocal fluorescence endomicroscopy or other optical detectors. There is also provided internally quenched probes for use in visualising cells especially although not exclusively in vivo by confocal fluorescence endomicroscopy and the use of internally quenched probes in combination with confocal fluorescence endomicroscopy, for visualising cells by virtue of internalisation and dequenching of a probe by the cells. In a particular embodiment the cells are activated neutrophils, such as within the lung of a subject.
Highly specific, multi-branched fluorescent reporters for analysis of human neutrophil elastase

Human neutrophil elastase (HNE) is a serine protease implicated in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic inflammatory disease. Here a series of, internally quenched, single fluorophore fluorescent reporters were synthesised that allowed the rapid, highly specific and sensitive analysis of HNE activity over closely related proteases.

Solid-phase construction: High efficiency dendrimer synthesis using AB3 isocyanate-type monomers
Lebreton, Sylvain,How, Siew-Eng,Buchholz, Monika,Yingyongnarongkul, Boon-Ek,Bradley, Mark

Solid-phase synthesis is an ideal tool for reactions that require high concentrations and excess reagents and forcing chemical conditions. One such chemistry is that required for dendrimer construction. In this paper the synthesis of a series of symmetric
